"The Enlightenment" wrote in message om... Robert Moore wrote in message .8... Just for your information, the YAK-52s being imported into this country are pneumatically operated, the brakes, flaps, landing gear, and even the engine starter. The starter is most unusual in that the compressed air is injected into the top of the cylinder heads just past TDC via an air distributor similiar to the spark system. Zoche aero diesels also use compressed air starters. They are lighter and more reliable (can't short out) Compressed air is also commonly used to start large diesels, such as used on ships and submarines. Not a new concept! Vaughn |
